When Should I Buy Travel Insurance?

The ideal time to purchase travel insurance is immediately after making your initial trip deposit or booking. This approach ensures you are covered for any listed events that might occur between the time of booking and the commencement of your trip.

We offer 3 plans, these are:

Key features of TID travel insurance plans:

Buying travel insurance weeks or months in advance of your departure can be beneficial in case you become sick or injured, trip cancellation, or if a natural disaster occurs and your trip is delayed or cancelled. If you decide to delay getting travel insurance or buy while travelling you could miss out on some important coverage.

Securing travel insurance promptly after booking your trip offers key advantages:

  • Extra coverage: Buying early means you could be covered for listed events that may occur before your departure, such as sudden illnesses or natural disasters.
  • Cover for overseas medical expenses
  • Medical repatriation if you're severely injured or fall ill abroad.
  • Cover for lost or delayed baggage.

And more.
